The ECF Early Childhood Development Fund is part of Edmonton Community Foundation’s commitment to helping every child reach their full potential. The fund supports community programs that nurture early learning, strengthen families, and build the foundations for lifelong health, confidence, and success.
The first five years of life shape nearly everything that follows, from how children learn and grow to how they connect with others and contribute to their communities. Yet in Alberta, many children begin school already facing barriers to development. This fund helps change that by supporting initiatives that create safe, enriching, and inclusive environments where every child can thrive.
Gifts to the fund are invested through ECF’s endowment, creating a permanent source of support that benefits generations to come. The income generated helps expand access to early learning opportunities, family supports, and community programs that give children the strong start they deserve.
Every child’s potential is a shared responsibility. Through the ECF Early Childhood Development Fund, your generosity helps build a brighter, more equitable future for Edmonton’s youngest citizens.
